>>3C rise in temperature should set off the melting of the Greenland ice cap. Might take 1000 years to melt though raising sea level 6-7 metres.<<

David, welcome back! As a lowlander I have a few questions...

If the Greenland cap melts, won't the Antarctic cap melt too? If so, how much is the combined rise in sea level?

And if the temperature rises 6C instead of 3C, does the melting happen twice as fast?

What is the worst case scenario?

Anything more than 100 years isn't really worth thinking about. It's not as though 10 metres or 100 metres would be the end of the world.
